We loved it all! The drivers were on time and very hospitable. Our planned activities were all memorable. The accommodations were perfect! Ian had outdone herself to make sure that every detail had been tended to which made our trip easy logistically. The support team jumped in when Ian was out of the office. There was a rock slide on the Amalfi Coast so they rearranged our itinerary before we knew that there was an issue. I have been singing your praises to everyone!
We think we are either going to do Greece or another part of Italy next year and can't wait to work with you again!
